Dozens of families and tourists saturated the boats yesterday, filled the restaurants and generated good profits to all traders.

From the piers the affluence was perceived, on every trip there were rows waiting for the next boat that transferred everybody to the beach destination.

At least 12 boatmen come and go every hour.

On each trip, the families have ceviche, drinks, snacks and swimsuits. Some even came with their dogs. Upon reaching the island, some run directly in the search of a space in the restaurants, others go to the Goats Island.

At the bottom of some palapas the band plays, families, couples, young people have filled all the tables.

The families of Mazatlan can’t forgive the ceviches and aguachile, tourists want zarandeado fish and shrimp cocktail. To all there’s fresh seafood.

Yesterday The Stone Island virtually revived, like every year. Families walk its beaches and enjoy the food of Sinaloa.

Needless to say this has got me excited. October 27 is our departure day.
